Imagine no buildings

Trees as far the eye can see

Broken only by sky

  —

Crossing strange borders

Speaking in unfamiliar tongues

The birds are the same

  —

Blossom blows freely

Gathering by isolation

In lovely ghettos

  —

Pink succumbs to white

The sun burns the day away

Rose tinted mem'ries

  —

Bold with colours

Around every hidden bend

Forgetting childhood

  —

Long, far, horizon

Hedgerows, canals, spires and space

The lowlands in spring

  —

A path by a brook

A bridge, arched to let all pass

The bark of a dog

  —

Delft, after the rain

Slick red herringbone cobbles

Echoes of the past

  —

River and landscape

Cut a path to Babylon

Church and state divide
